Top Jamaica Day Trips - page 4

We enjoyed our tour with Robert and Tee! Tee wore many hats from picking us up from the port and traveling with us on the bus to the beach club to serving us an amazing Jamaican feast to getting us back in time for our departure with time for a stop at a great souvenir shop! Robert gave us a nice narrated tour along the way and drove very safely! We all enjoyed our time and had no problem finding great seats in the VIP section even on spring break! The beach was rustic but with great food and drinks and pretty views. Beer and Champagne was extra but signature drinks created by the club were plentiful.

Our guide Kirk brought us to Bob Marley Museum and we learned a lot about Marley’s life and his work as a musician. Then he brought us to Devon’s House where we learned its History. I highly recommend this tour and thank you Kirk for bringing us around Kingston and being our photographer.

We ended up with 1 full bus of people from different resorts. Lenbert took us to 7 different local bars. We spoke to the locals and played with their children, saw beautiful cliffs and caves, and ended the tour at a spot with awesome local art and sculptures. We had a bus full of fun people, Lenbert played great music, and we had the best time!

I'll start with the great! Carlos, our guide and driver, was amazing. Very friendly and we enjoyed his commentary. Highly recommend him as a tour guide. Next, the river guide, Duane was friendly and informative and we felt very safe throughout the whole river run. Crazy how they ride stomach down on their tubes and guide us here and there like that! Bamboo Beach Club was very nice. We had chairs reserved for us )thru the tour) which made it nice to get off the bus and go right to our chairs. The included lunch was good...jerk chicken and yellow ride. Drinks were cold and strong and yummy! Now, getting to all that goodness was not as pleasurable. The chaos at the port led to us not leaving there until after 10:15. After rushing off the ship, there were plenty of people there who worked for Bamboo Beach club, but only a few had any idea what was going on. They took buses and buses of VIP Beach Club people to THEIR buses, while we stood there as there were only 11 of us it seemed they were looking for a smaller bus to take just us (that is how we got the wonderful Carlos...he has his own bus/company that Regae/Bamboo Beach must have contracted to take us) The ride to the river was closer to 50 minutes (only 2 ships docked in Ocho Rios) therefore setting us back even further. Becasue of the delays we had zero time to shop at port when we got back. A 5 hour excursion took 6.5 mostly due to the chaos at the port. I realize they are a secondary excursion vendor and would not be give priority for set up to receive passengers, but a better system of getting off and onto buses needs to be implemented. I will also say, they were the ones in charge of getting even the Carnival excursions onto buses...definitely not efficient like Carnival usually is. The tour, the guides/driver and the river run was amazing and worth it for sure.

Marie and Donovan conducted a lively and intimate tour of Kingston, covering the Water Lane, the National Gallery of Jamaica, Bob Marley Museum, downtown Kingston and more. They were very friendly and knowledgeable to share the history and background of the city and the country. The tour was fun and fascinating. In addition, they went out of their way to help me to find and buy some essentials that I needed at the time of the tour. Strongly recommend for a fun day to know and enjoy Kingston

Should you be fortunate to be hosted by Petal and Shipley you are guaranteed to have a memorable time . From pick up to drop off they were unbelievably attentive , knowledgable , welcoming and friendly . One love !! The trip was amazing value for money seeing as we visited 3 different attractions . Firstly, we visited the black river and was lucky enough to have a great guide and spotted at least 10 friendly crocodiles and lots of wildlife . The skipper even shook hands with one . The YS falls were amazing . However, due to recent heavy rainfall the current was very strong . Great place . Lastly, we visited Appleton Estate . We had a great lunch and the tour was hosted by Peter who was funny, knowledgeable and informative . The rum tasting was good fun . The journey home was an experience due to a heavy downpour of rain and Shippy navigated us safely home through mainly floods and cajs 😂 Petal served some light refreshments on the way back which made the 3 hour journey back most pleasurable . One love !!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲

Both excursions were so much fun and actually a mild mark on our bucket list. The guides at each tour were awesome. However, our driver to and from the excursions was awful. His driving was crazy and wild. He left us at Dunn’s River to pick up other people at another excursion. We left our excursion early because he told us to be out front at a certain time. We end up waiting 30 minutes before he came back. I had to call and text the office to find out what was happening. Once picked up, he proceeded to tell me we basically finished the excursion and we didn’t miss anything. I don’t think that should be told to someone who has spent their money and traveled so far for the experience. These excursions were fun and worth it, but that transfer driver Rajesh was awful

This is a great experience!! I recommend doing all 3! In the order of, Dunns river fall, Blue Hole, then relaxing down the river tubing!! Tour guides was nice!! It felt like VIP to every extraction. Tour guide walked you past lines of people, to front to get bands. 5/5 experience.
